Sometimes you have to look below the surface of the numbers to get the whole story. Such is the case with Springboro's January home sales numbers. Sales were HALF of December's. That's low even when you consider January is traditionally slow for home sale. That COULD be scary if you just focused on that number. But take a little closer look at the number of homes under contract (52 total) and you can see January was just a temporary blip.

This report covers the Springboro Community School district single family homes (so portions of surrounding townships will be included e.g. Clearcreek & Turtlecreek). This report will only cover single family homes and not include condominium data. Data is derived from the Dayton MLS only, so homes sold without Dayton MLS entry will NOT be included in this review.

The Springboro area is popular, especially with residents seeking to commute into Dayton (easy access with I75 and SR741), and even works well for those not minding a bit longer commute south to the Cincinnati area. Springboro is a good choice for couples where one works in Dayton and the other in Cincinnati.

Springboro Community Schools are among the state's best public schools per the Ohio Department of Education ratings. Additionally Springboro was selected #42 in U.S. in 2011 by Money magazine for Best Small Cities To Live and probably would have made the 2013 & 2015 lists, but Money magazine changed the rules to only one town per county and Mason got the nod.

Keep in mind that some homes may only be listed in the Cincinnati MLS and will not be included in this report. We STRONGLY recommend any Springboro resident selling their home hire a REALTOR(R) with access to BOTH Cincinnati and Dayton MLS.

So, on to the review!

First up is the number of Springboro single family homes sold on a month by month basis starting in 2013 and carrying forward to present: Next is the Springboro median price summary chart.

Homes Active/Pending 2/17/2019: 21 more that have a contingency in place (e.g. a home to sell, inspections still to be performed, etc.)

Average Sales/List %: 97.6 DOWN .1%

Most Expensive Home Sold: $865,000

Least Expensive Home Sold: $111,000

So what does this all mean? There are some key takeaways:

As we mentioned at the beginning, not a great number for total homes sold in January. But take a look at the significant swing in Pending and you can see the market is still VERY much alive and well.

The shortage of homes for sale was a little less drastic, with a small increase in homes not under contract. 12 of those 75 are new construction homes. 75 is still pretty skimpy for selecting once you narrow down price and other needs.

Sales prices were still good.

Distressed properties are still rare, accounting for none of the homes sold and one of the homes not under contract.

Don't expect huge discounts from asking price. 97.5% sold to list price for is the highest we've seen in Warren County for quite some time.

Bottom line: Springboro CONTINUES to be one of your best choices for buying a home in the Cincinnati/Dayton corridor but act fast for the best of the best homes.

So what does this mean to you as a Springboro single family home owner?
